The zeal that sets a city on a hill

We were saying our goodbyes in the school parking lot when momma must’ve completely lost her mind! “Here son,” she smiled, handing me her camera, “Take a few pictures on your field trip.” I gulped like I’d swallowed my tonsils. Did she remember I was just in the fourth grade?
Mom proceeded to show me how to change the film and handed me four extra rolls. To top it off, she had the audacity to shove forty dollars in my pocket without making it perfectly clear it was for meals only. I wiped off her kiss and boarded that big chartered Greyhound for Chicago thinking I might be the next Michelangelo, or some other famous picture taker.
For the next ten minutes I was the talk of the bus, organizing group shots and capturing the tremendous excitement of a bus load of kids away from home for the first time. I even snapped a few of the bus driver as he began popping his blood pressure medication. We were all having big fun.
